At the closing price 26 days ago, the number of advancing constituents of the Nikkei average was 193 stocks up, 31 stocks down, and 1 stock unchanged.

The Nikkei average rebounded significantly. It ended the morning session at 38,812.94 yen, up 942.68 yen (+2.49%) from the previous day, with an estimated volume of 850 million shares.

On the 25th, the US stock market was mixed. The Dow Jones fell by 293.47 points (-0.70%) to 41,914.75, the Nasdaq rose by 7.69 points (+0.04%) to 18,082.21, and the S&P 500 fell by 10.67 points (-0.19%). The OECD's upward revision of the global economic growth forecast led to buying sentiment, causing an increase after the opening bell. However, profit-taking sales intensified near record highs for the Dow, and August new home sales decreased from July, turning into a significant decline. The Nasdaq was weighed down by rising long-term interest rates, but the semiconductor sector remained strong, providing support and closing slightly higher. The Dow expanded its losses towards the end, ending the day with mixed results.

Based on the depreciation of the yen in the foreign exchange market, the Tokyo market started trading with a buying preference. Semiconductor stocks rose from the open, causing the Nikkei average to break through the 75-day moving average line. With the yen weakening and the dollar rising to the 144.90 yen level, capital flowed towards export-related large-cap stocks, resulting in the Nikkei average expanding its gains by over 900 yen from the previous day.

In the Nikkei average adopted stocks, semiconductor stocks such as Tokyo Electron Ltd. Unsponsored ADR <8035>, Advantest <6857>, Socionext <6526>, Screen HD <7735>, and Sumco <3436> rose in response to the good earnings of Micron in the United States. In addition, Ebara Corporation <6361>, Disco <6146>, Mitsukoshi Isetan Holdings <3099>, Hitachi <6501>, and SoftBank Group <9984> were also bought.

On the other hand, Kokando Pharmaceuticals <4151>, which plummeted yesterday, continued to be sold, as well as Lasertec <6920> showing weakness. In addition, Astellas Pharma <4503>, Nissan Motor Co <7201>, Mitsubishi Motors <7211>, and Hino Motors <7205> declined. Tokai Carbon <5301>, Aozora Bank <8304>, and Sumitomo Metal Mining <5713> were also sold.

While all sectors were rising, other products, metal products, electric appliances, machinery, and precision instruments showed noticeable gains.

The top contributor to the increase was Tokyo Electron <8035>, which pushed the Nikkei average up by about 162 yen with one stock. The second place was First Retailing <9983>, followed by Advantest <6857>, Softbank Group <9984>, Shin-Etsu Chemical <4063>, Recruit Holdings <6098>, Konami Holdings <9766>, and others.
